de John Osborne
La pièce qui a transformé le théâtre britannique. Look Back in Anger (La Paix du dimanche), exprime les sentiments de la génération d’après-guerre en Grande-Bretagne, une colère encore papable lors des émeutes de 2011.
Quatre jeunes gens se rebellent contre les valeurs de l’ordre établi et ses valeurs, donnant libre cours à leur colère, ils s’entraînent mutuellement vers l’aliénation.

Extrait du texte de la pièce 'Looking Back in Anger'
| Jimmy: | Nobody can be bothered. No one can raise themselves out of their delicious sloth. You two will drive me round the bend soon - I know it, as sure as I'm sitting here. I know you're going to drive me mad. Oh heavens, how I long for a little ordinary human enthusiasm. Just enthusiasm - that's all. I want to hear a warm, thrilling voice cry out Hallelujah! Hallelujah! I'm alive! I've an idea. Why don't we have a little game? Let's pretend that we're human beings, and that we're actually alive. Just for a while. What do you say? Let's pretend we're human. Oh, brother, it's such a long time since I was with anyone who got enthusiastic about anything. |
